High School Counselors Corner
At the start of the school year your High School age student should have been given a packet prepared by our counselor outlining steps to take each year as college decisions grow closer. If you need another packet please contact Raylene Weaver at rweaver@midlandchristianschool.org.
Throughout the year Mrs. Weaver will be visting student classrooms with important date reminders and additional information regarding college information.
